"To what purpose, April, do you return again?
Beauty is not enough.
You can no longer quiet me with the redness
Of little leaves opening stickily.
I know what I know.
The sun is hot on my neck as I observe
The spikes of the crocus.
The smell of the earth is good.
It is apparent that there is no death.
But what does that signify?
Not only under ground are the brains of men
Eaten by maggots.
Life in itself
Is nothing,
An empty cup, a flight of uncarpeted stairs.
It is not enough that yearly, down this hill,
April
Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers."

Some time ago I made a triangle necklace -
and here´s how that came about:

It was the charming little white triangle on
this photo which on the spur of the moment made
me want to make one too...

It´s in an inspiring book by Catherine Legrand,
"Wundebare Welt der Stoffe" in German - there´s no
English translation from the French original as far
as I see, but a very similar book: "Textiles - A World
Tour".

The necklace has been sitting on the shelf for a
while, so it´s on sale now here...
